TweetHUCKLEBERRY FINN will be directed by Donald Rosenfeld and commence production May 2018.

Sovereign Films is proud to announce a new film of the great American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, to start production in May 2018. This new cinematic re-imagining will embrace the novel as it was written – in all its glory, intense darkness, course language and vivid story-telling drama.

''All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called 'Huckleberry Finn’, There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.'' Ernst Hemingway

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s most celebrated and controversial book was the first major American novel to be written in the vernacular – a dark, funny satire that exposes the bigotry and hypocrisy of provincial America during Mark Twain’s lifetime.

Sovereign Film’s Donald Rosenfeld will make his directorial debut and will bring together a stellar team of filmmakers and actors alongside new talent. The dream team that Rosenfeld has worked with over almost three decades includes: screenplay by Jonathan Feldman, casting by Billy Hopkins, costumes by the legendary Ruth Myers, celebrated Paul Sarrosy as Director of Photography, editing by Kate Williams, and music composed by Paul Cantelon.

The film will be made in the sweeping Missouri and Mississippi River landscape and without doubt will be the truest rendition of this extraordinary novel ever made.

Director and Co-Producer Donald Rosenfeld said: "The entire imagining of America: all vast grand possibility, and our fundamental broken dream -- this is the heart of Mark Twain's masterpiece, Huckleberry Finn. No book better defines the American experience, in all its glory and its deepest disgrace. We will move away from a children's classic to a grown up film that stars a young boy. Twain's darkest visions and brutal language will be fundamental to our telling. This film is 50 years in the making: Shooting begins May 2018"

Screenwriter, Jonathan Feldman said:“It’s terrifically exciting to begin our adventure down the Mississippi. Like those before me, I begin the trip with great reverence and appreciation for the masterwork that Is the novel, Huckleberry Finn. This book is a journey of an innocent into the heart of darkness of America’s history of racial oppression and intolerance. This is not and never has been a “children’s book.” Ultimately, it’s about the struggle for the American soul. And our movie is not going to shy away from that journey.”
